Deployment of the meta heuristic Colonial Competitive Algorithm in synthesis of unequally spaced linear antenna array

Abstract

In this paper we re-call a recently developed meta heuristic optimization algorithm based on socio-political process of imperialistic competition. This Colonial Competitive Algorithm (CCA) has shown its efficient capability in comparison to convenient optimization algorithms like GA, PSO. In this study we investigate the synthesis problem of unequally linear space antenna using CCA and show the efficient convergence to obtain a pattern with acceptable Side Lobe Level.
